Chelsea's Stamford Bridge plays host to draw between Brazil and Russia

Brazil and Russia have played out a 1-1 draw in an international friendly at Stamford Bridge tonight.

Fabio Capello's Russian side took a 73rd minute lead through Zenit winger Viktor Fayzulin before Fred scored his fourth goal in his last four international appearances in the 90th minute.

Fayzulin was the recipient of a weak clearance from Hernanes which invited him to calmly slot home from 12 yards to give Russia the advantage in front of around 35,000 fans in Southwest London.

However, a below-par Brazil managed to hit back in the final minute of regular time when Zenit striker Hulk played in Marcelo who squared the ball across the face of goal for Fluminense's Fred to tap home.
